Rue des Degrés 🏃‍♂️: Paris’ shortest street, but full of surprises! 🎨

A tiny street with big character (and stairs!) 🚶‍♀️

Tucked away in the 2nd arrondissement, the Rue des Degrés is officially the shortest street in Paris—

measuring just 5.75 meters long! 😱

But don’t let its size fool you; it’s got a lot of personality!

Made up of only 14 steps, this little street connects Rue de Cléry to Rue Beauregard near the Grands Boulevards 🏙️.

Even though it’s tiny, it’s considered a full-fledged street and sometimes gets decked out with cool street art 🎨.

Who knew that small could be so stylish?
